Love Has A Color (COMPLETED)

King woke up to the sound of his phone ringing. He's not a late riser but still feels that this is too early for calling people up on the weekends.

Groaning, King tried searching for his phone with his eyes closed.

"Hello?"

"P'King . . ."

"A'Ning? Why are you calling this early?"

"I'm in front of your room."

"Huh? Where?"

"Outside"

When it dawned on King what Ram meant by that, he quickly got up, sleep forgotten and went to his door.

"A'Ning why are you here?"

To which Ram only shrug his shoulders. And showed King a plastic bag that looks like from a nearby breakfast diner. King is still a bit confused with what's going on but gestured for Ram to come in.

"Wash up then let's eat", Ram said after getting inside. King only nodded and did as he was told.

When King came out of the bathroom on his t-shirt and shorts and a little towel to dry his hair, Ram already set the table.

This is so random, thought King.

King sat on the only available chair and look at the spread on the table. It was a simple american breakfast and there's nothing fancy about it but King felt happy. Unknowingly, a smile formed on his lips.

"Thanks A'Ning. Let's eat."

After eating for a while, Ram decided to break the silence.

"Do you have plans today P'King?"

One of the things King liked when he started dating Ram is that it's no longer that hard to get a word from him. He seemed to be more relaxed now around the senior and has spoken more than he used to. Still a quiet person though but no longer close to being a mute.

"Nope. I don't have any.", King said after thinking for a while. "Why?"

Ram didn't answer but King noticed that he brought his bag with him and knowing that midterms are coming up, King thinks he knows what is Ram's reason for the visit.

"Would you like to stay after breakfast and study with me?", King offered to which Ram immediately nodded.

King is used to tutoring his friends whenever important exams are coming up so it wasn't really a bother to him. Ram was attentive too and focused which made things easier for him.

After a few hours of explaining equations and having Ram answer problems, King said they should take a break first and eat some snacks. Ram agreed as the hours of studying both exhausted and drained him.

King was about to stand up and raid his cupboards and fridge but Ram grabbed King's wrist and pulled him to sit on his lap.

Ram then buried his head on King's neck and inhaled his scent. "Tired", Ram said after a while. It was barely a whisper but with their close proximity King didn't have a problem hearing it.

"Want to take a nap first?", King asked. It's still 2 hours before lunch and he too was a bit tired and wanted to rest.

King felt Ram nodded but hasn't loosen the hug. Confused, King turned towards Ram and searched his face, trying to look for clues as to what his nong wants.

The intense gaze he saw in Ram's brown eyes surprised and scared King a bit but he quickly relaxed after seeing Ram shy away and tried to look at anything else other than him. Cute.

King knows there isn't any set rules nor a chronological list of things to do while dating so he was a bit lost on what to do but decided to just go with what he feels at the moment.

He wrapped his hands on Ram's neck and urged him to look at him. When Ram did, King kissed him on the forehead. He let the kiss drag on for a few seconds before ending it then looked Ram in the eyes.

Both of them were blushing at the moment but no one looked away. They are both fascinated with the colors on each others cheeks to look at anything else.

When King can no longer hold Ram's gaze, he stood up and offered Ram his hand.

"Let's rest first."
